You probably wouldn’t believe what I’m about to say unless you saw it unfold for yourself. And so, on that note, take a look for yourself and then I’ll fill you in on the background.

The home you see in the hyperlinked video was purchased by Leo Lech in Greenwood Village, CO for his son. Following the incident shown on video, the house is now completely destroyed and uninhabitable due to the use of chemical agents, flash-bang grenades and a battering ram by SWAT team members who were attempting to catch a man who had shoplifted from a nearby Walmart who hid out in the home.

Yes, the SWAT team.

“They drove their tank right through all of our fences here,” one neighbor told 7 News.

Lech says that his homeowner’s insurance will cover the structure itself but his son’s family is now at a loss regarding all of their belongings that were destroyed inside the house. “They are completely distraught,” he said. “They lost everything too… things in there that can never be replaced.”

Lech says the Greenwood Village Police Department maintains that they are not responsible for the damages and will not return his phone calls.

You can contact the police department yourself in the following fashion:

Phone: 303-773-2525
